SAVING Makes Profits

Profit in all kinds of business depends
more upon what is saved than what is
made. A farmer loses money if he does
not make this principle the basis of all
his work. AS with feeding live stock,
so with feeding crops, if the manure is
not made available by good culture, or
good culture is not aided by liberal manur-
ing there is loss. A case in Eoint may
be mentioned of a farmer who produces
over 2, 900 pounds of Tobacco per acre.
Made by good manuring and through til
lage of so good a quality that it brings
seventeen cents pound, equal to $40
per acre. By saving or making effective
every part of the work, one acts with an
other to produce the desired effect, and
in growing crops, feeding stock, and the
general management of the farm, it is
not the amount expended or the work
done that makes up the profit, but the
useful effect produced and the saving of
labor and material The work of the
farm may be compared to the power of a
stream; one may have a leaky dam or a
flume, or poorly constructed wheel, and
the force of the fall may be frittered
away by various wastes In farm work
the adaptation of the right means to the
desired ends constitutes the science of
agriculture, and the whole intent, pur-
pose and effect of science are to make
every part of the farm-work as effective
as possible by avoiding wastes of all
kinds.
in fattening cattle or swine there are
many opportunities for losses and wastes
The most appropriate food is rarely
chosen, but whatever may be most con-
venient; there is rarely that mixture of
foods which is most effective in making
a healthful mixture of flesh and fat
there are seldom the best arrangements
for feeding without ste OF for the
preservation of health dun ing the fatten-
ing process, and in many ways farmers
miss getting the full effect of the food.
How many make pound of live weight
from so little rs four pounds of food and
yet three and one-half or even less of the
best kind OF food will make a pound of
increase, and how many keep the best
kind of stock for proftl We might say
how few, for but very few do this. And
yet with a large number of farmers the
greater part of the crops is food to
stock. This is an appropriate time for
considering this matter and for acting
n accordance with the most profitable
nethods.-Ne York Times

FARM AND GARDEN,
Smut. in Oats.

Smut in oats usually destroys ten per
cent. of the crop and often more. Pro-
feSsor Arthur came across field of oats

smut fungus were carried with the seed

year he found the smut abundant on the

Good Food, Good Flavor.

Ever and anon some enthusiastic
breeder of thoroughbred fowls descants
upon the merits of his favorite breed
their tender, juicy flesh and rich, highly
favored eggs, not to be compared with
the dunghilIs long ago discarded-for-
getting that the dunghills were truly
named, and that from hard scratching
for living in barnyard, they produced
the small, tough bodies and ill-iavored
eggs complained of, while his thorough
breds have yard to themselves, are fed
on the choicest grain and grasses, have
nothing but pure water to drink, and all
the delicacies of the season, from the
dinner table.
What breeder has not noticed the diff
ference in flavor of the eggs from his best
yards and from the general flock running
at large. Instinctively, the best fowls
receive the best food and most careful at
tention, and the result is richer and bet
ter favored eggs. Feeding for flavor
must sooner or later become one of the
high arts of poultry culture.-N6'0 York

THEY COST TOO MUCH.
A FreckIe-Faced GrandSOn'S Con
tract With His Grandfather.

From the Boston Transcript
Old Mr.. G. was thrifty, with high
regard for the almighty dollar He had
lively, freckle-faced athletic grandson,
rs agile as q squirrel, who was named
for him-Benjamin G. D., since
man of good deal of prominence on
his own account-and who lived with
him. The old gentleman's barn, as
good many other old places have done,
became terribly infested with rats. The
old gentleman was 50 greatly annoyed
that he offered the boy fifty cents apiece
for all the rats he would catch and show
to him alive, on the premises-a precau-
ton to prevent sharp practice on the
part of the youth. After two or three
min and asked him to step out into the
barn. He did 50, and was conducted to
a big disused mOlasses barrel that stood
in the middle of the barn floor, and
asked to look into it. And there, on the
bottom, was a wrigglinS mas of rats.
three or four deep, struggling vainly to
get out of the barrel.
"My CORY :" exclaimed the old gen
tlmean. "Where'd you get all these
rats ?"
Caught 'em here in the barn, gram
sir.
Chow many be they?"
eighty, That's just forty dollars,
gran'sir."
Forty dollars Why, 1 amt goin'
to pay you all that money"
"Ain't you1 Didn't you agree to-
gran'sir!"
''Well, yes; but I had no idee when
I did that you'd catch such tarnatlon
lot"
The boy looked up. There was rope
dangling down from the beam above
that was used to help in climbing up to
the hayloft. Benny pulled himself up
hand over hand on the rope until he
hung suspended over the barrel.
CANT you goin' to give me that forty
dollars you agreed to, gran sir!" said
the boy.
"Neverl" said the old man, looking
over again into the barrel with its
squirming mass of rats.
"Well, then, here gOes!' said the
boy.
With lively kick of his foot he upset
the barrel in the direction of his grand
fnther. The multitude of rats poured
ont around the old mans feet. He
leaped wildly up and down in terror,
and sprang through the mass to a ladder
that stood near. Then he ran up the
ladder with an agility that he had not
cqualled for fifty years. And the rats
resumed possession of the premises.

Curing Side-Bacon.

In handling any products of the hog
care must be taken to kill on cool,
frosty day and see that the carcass is
thoroughly cooled through, but not
frozen, before it is cut up. The large
pieces of side meat for smoked bacon are
best cured by dry sailing ON a platform
made for the purpose. On this spread a
layer of salt an inch deep, then rub each
piece of meat thoroughly on the sid IS
and edges with salt and lay the skin
side down on the platform. When the
first layer of meat is completed, sprinkle
good layer of salt over it and then rub
and lay down the next layer in the same
manner as the first, and so continue until
all is packed; finish with good coating
OF salt on the top Of the pile. The meat
should be taken up and rubbed with salt
three or four times during the curing,
and repacked as at first This rubbing
may be done in wide, shallow box con-
tanning three or four inches Of salt in the
bottom, and will be found quite conven-
lent for the purpose. The time required
for the curing will be from five to eight
weeks, depending on the thickness of
Che pieces and the temperature of the
room where it is kept. In cellar with
nm even temperature meat will take salt
much sooner than in a cold room with an
occasional freeze, and it will be we'll to
test the curing by cutting into a piece
before taking it up for smoking. The
smoking will require about ten DAYS,
hickory wood being the best for the pur-
pOse.-Neao York World.

Impaction of the Stomach.

Cattle fed upon dry, hard food at this
season are apt to suffer from indigestion,
which results in fever of the stomach
and lnpaction with the dry, undigested
food. The Inflammation dries and bakes
the coarse matter in cakes between the
folds of the stomach, and as this organ
cannot act, death is only question of
time. The symptoms are dullness and
loss of appetite; the nose is hot and dry,
the eyes discharge tears and become red,
and there is great thirst. When dry,
coarse feed is being eaten, the cattle
should be given some linSecd meal or
inseed oil, and thin tea made by boil
ing Inseed is also very useful to prevent
this disease. When it happens the best
remedy is two pounds of epson salts
dissolved in warm water, and mixed
with pint of molasses. Linseed tea
should be given copiously. When the
rumen, or pauch is involved in this dis
order, 1t may save life to make an Incl
sion in 1t and remove the contents, and
inject the solution of epson salts. A
few stitches will close the opening,
which heals rapidly.-Neto York Times.
Fine Sand for Bedding Animals.
n correspondent OF the Country Gen
ttlna1 says Many years ago, when I
had easy access to clean sand, | used it
for bedding the cows and horses in
preference to straw, sawdust, dry tam
bark or any other material, for the reason
that bed of fine sand would absorb the
liquid of the stalls sooner and keep the
animals cleaner than any other bedding.
There was the fact in the case. That is
all there is about it. A few days since l
was at the stables of a farmer who works
large farm and keeps several teams and
s large herd of neat cattle, who told me
that he prefers fine sand for bedding to
any other material. He had more than
two thousand bushels Il Judged of dry,
fine sand, stored for bedding in the win
ter. No other bedding will prevent the
manurial accumulation from adhering to
the hair of domestic animals so effectu-
ally as clean sand A peck of fine sand
will readily absorb and retain half peck
of liquid manure. Then, here is another
namely, the facility with which manuriaI
accumu!ations of any stable may be han
died and stored without loss from heat
ing and Sire fanging," as stable manure
will do when the bedding consists of
straw or haum of any sort.
